Spartacus Breaking His Chains
This nineteen century sixteen inch sculpture was created by Denis Foyatier. The sculpture is of Spartacus, a man who served as a leader in a revolt against slavery. This statue was composed of bronze and could be distinguished by its fine polish and style. This bronze statue stood in a mobile upright position, the left foot extended forward, the arms crossed around the lower chest region. Foyatier succeeded in producing a vivid and convincing figure by using the techniques of shape, texture and details. His techniques suggest and appeal to a sense of intense power and vigor.
